Mob mentality — sometimes also called herd or hive mentality — is the inclination that humans have to be part of a large group, neglecting their individual feelings in the process, and adopting the behaviors and actions of the collective.

Interested in how this concept manifests in everyday life, Reddit user AdmirableFlow made a post on the platform, asking everyone: "What's the most severe case of mass stupidity you've ever witnessed?"

As of now, the question has received over 4.1K comments, so compiled those that stood out and invite you to learn more about the challenges of maintaining critical thinking.

“We Can Use Fewer Idiots In The World”: 40 Cases Of Mass Stupidity That Prove People Are Dumb The January 6th Assault on the Capitol was probably the most severe case of mass stupidity I've seen in my lifetime.

Not even talking politically.

There were idiots climbing walls when there were accessible stairs nearby. Most of these idiots thought they wouldn't meet any police resistance.

They acted as if their attempted coup would be met with smiling cops and clapping congresspeople, thanking them for their service or something.

If a church takes its parishioners money and spends it on fancy buildings and fountains and the preacher is wearing fancy suits instead of putting those donations back into the community I like to imagine sky daddy's thumb coming out the clouds and smooshing that building. In America some of the churches that televise their worship pay professional singers to sing in their choirs. My cousin is an opera singer in LA, that was a good regular income for him. Meanwhile preachers in Africa sell their own holy 'elixirs' they promise cure all ailments out of their churches after their service...

This is true. I've known a lot of intelligent people who are religious. I honestly don't understand it though. If they applied the same critical thinking skills to their religion as they do the rest of their lives, they would (should) change their minds pretty quickly. Cognitive dissonance is a funny thing.

The megachurch service is like a rock concert, or a Hitler convention where everyone gets infected with a mass hysteria. The power of the group in an audience takes over the psyche. Logic is powerless to resist such a social force.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints spent over $1 Billion in humanitarian aid in 2022 alone. 6.3 million hours volunteered and 3,692 humanitarian projects in 190 countries and territories. They also helped my family with rent for over a year, gave clothing to my children, got Christmas presents for us since we had fallen on hard times. So maybe don’t just cast a blanket statement on all churches, churches are people. Groups of people who are searching for answers in this hostile planet. So cut the people some slack and don’t throw them into a pile of evil doers.

Doesn't have to be a megachurch. My mom was fully sucked into the Prosperity Gospel (Victory Church) before the concept was fully named. I got prayer instead of healthcare. If they didn't get something they declared in the name of Jesus (direct example: not enough milk left to make pancakes) it was because of demonic intervention. Quaking on the floor, speaking in tongues, everyone not part of the church is an enemy... The brainwashing of evangelical churches sounds funny, till you think of the people who have to live with them. I grew up with an abusive alcoholic father, but the toxic positivity and abuse/neglect from an evangelical mother was worse in many ways.

Thinking about the "Christian" mega churches, have none of them read the bible? I'm agnostic. I read it. Jesus was very clear about how he felt about the rich and especially those making money off of faith. It's one of the major things he had a problem with. Do they know "Christians" are supposed to follow Jesus Christ?

Churches are educational institutions that help people to develop their faith. Some people develop that faith, some don't. The ones who truly get educated and have faith do a lot of sincere good without raising a lot of attention. Don't lump all people of faith into the same pile. Some are sincere.

“We Can Use Fewer Idiots In The World”: 40 Cases Of Mass Stupidity That Prove People Are Dumb Someone I knew awhile ago had a theft record a mile long. One time, she went in front of the judge, who told her "You know, every time you've appeared in front of me, you've denied stealing. They have you on camera, clearly walking out of the store with unpaid merchandise. So, here's what we're going to do: you can admit you did it this time, and I'll let you walk out of here today, with probation. If you still deny it, then I'll sentence you to 90 days right here, right now".

Now, her attorney looked at her and said three words: "Take the deal". She said something back, shaking her head. Her attorney then looked at the judge, and said "Your honor, my client maintains her innocence"; BOOM, three months in the county jail, just like that.

It never ceases to amaze me how some people would rather jump off of the Empire State building (or lose their freedom) than simply admit they are wrong.

Protesters and demonstrators. Despite your intentions they are very rarely peaceful and usually degenerate into senseless violence that in the end does more harm than good to your cause.

That is utterly false. The vast majority of protests and demonstrations do not degenerate into violence, and they frequently have positive results.

First, Trump in USA. Second, Bolsonaro in Brazil. Next, Milei in Argentina. People are so stupid that they worship these morons, and even after their country is all fcked up because of these sh!tty presidents, they keep worshipping them.

It's because all three blowhards share the same talking points that their followers believe- blame everything that is bad in your life on immigrants, the government is after you, cut taxes for the wealthy, science is lying to you and facts don't matter. They use religion (the hypocrisy) as opium (more like suppressant) for the masses.

Mob mentality is the inclination that humans have to be part of a large group, neglecting their individual feelings. Here's how it manifests in everyday life. Read this sentence again SLOWLY, and know that BOTH THE LEFT AND RIGHT have the same problem.

Oh boy, where does one even start with these 44 samples of personal madness. In today's rapid and widening access to information (correct to crazy), one must no longer lock in on only one source of fact finding to understand or believe a particular person, story, or fact. The expression "Due Diligence" should apply at all times within your mind for yourself to avoid being confused, activated, or a sucker for B.S. that you may regret down the road.

The video I saw on TV of a spring breaker getting arrested while 150 tiktokers had phones glued to face in anticipation...then one of them opened the cop car door, boy went running, and the entire herd of teenagers went charging down the beach with him like a flash mob. It was frankly terrifying to watch. I think they are aliens.

Didn't even read this post and know that there will be at least several that are advertised as stupidity and are actually spot on. Bias is tough to overcome!

I count 10 out of 44 on this list that are advertised as stupidity but are actually spot on. Maintain a healthy dose of scepticism folks, don't agree with something just because certain people are shouting it from the rooftops. For more info search for my comic strip "good scientist cartoon" that explores the boundary between genius and stupidity. Intelligence and stupidity are not opposites, people can be both, or neither.

There are a lot of people here afraid of the truth. If you are happy with the current administration you are part of the problem. Wake up and stop being brainwashed.

What "truth" are you talking about? I'm no Biden fan-girl, but it'll be a cold day in hell before I vote for the likes of Trump. A rabid monkey would make a better president than that slimy, orange criminal.
